Painting meets branding – an interdisciplinary approach:
Colour Representation And Perception Of The Colour "Green" In Brand Communication And Painting Of National Brand Colours Using The Example Of The National Brand Ireland
Colours have symbolic, psychological or even political meanings. In painting they are used as the colour equivalent of light, landscape or to organise space. In branding they create identities and are used as brand colour, variety colour or content colour for the perception of brands to express sensory associations or preferences. The human eye sees more green than any other colour, especially when it is green. Green is perceived in many different facets and a variety of moods can be expressed using this colour.
In the tourism industry Ireland is known as the "Green Island". Since 2014, the Irish tourist board “Tourism Ireland“ has been promoting the "Wild Atlantic Way" (WAW) on its German website with 14 photographic lead visuals.
In her work Prof. Ute Röseler investigates the perception of the brand Ireland based on these campaign leitmotifs. The colours of the photographic motifs are extracted and reproduced in abstract painting in 14 paintings. The perception of the colour green is not only shown here in many facets, but above all in the weighting and interaction with other colours.
The project is a research project of the Brand University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg (www.brand-university.de)

Paintings of Ute Röseler at the Cill Rialaig Arts Centre in Ballinskelligs
August and September 2015
It was stormy and rainy when Noelle Campbell-Sharp curiously entered Dan's Gallery at the end of August 2014 to get an impression of Ute Röseler's work.
Besides her gallery in Dublin, Campbell-Sharp is the initiator of the Cill Rialaig Arts Centre in Kerry, where renowned artists from all over the world exhibit.
This year Ute Röseler will be exhibiting at the Centre. Until the end of September the portraits painted in oil can be seen there.
The Cill Rialaig Arts Centre is the centre in Kerry for contemporary art such as painting, sculpture, glass and ceramics since 1991. Attached to the centre is the Cill Rialaig Artist Retreat, which welcomes scholarship holders (art, literature and music) the inspiring space for their creative work.

At the vernissage, the over 100-year-old cottage literally appeared in the best light:
Sun-drenched Dan's Gallery presented the works of Willie Kunze and Ute Röseler in Glenearagh on August 17th.
About 40 guests were enthusiastic about photography and painting by the two artists. The focus of the works was on Irish impressions—from landscape scenes and animals to portraits, the exhibition showed a broad spectrum of Ireland and Kerry's.
